According to Jeonju University, this project was designed to showcase the appeal of the Saemangeum region and to produce innovative promotional content. Students from the Department of Webtoon and Comic Contents visited Saemangeum in person to gain inspiration, and expressed the future and unique characteristics of the region through various forms of promotional content, including webtoons and videos.

Under the theme "Saemangeum, Drawn Together with Gen Z," the program ran for about six months, during which students captured a variety of perspectives on Saemangeum as seen through the eyes of the younger generation. The top nine outstanding works, selected through a review process, were awarded certificates and scholarships signed by the president of the Saemangeum Development Corporation.

Cho Yoonsook, head of the Department of Webtoon and Comic Contents, stated, "Through this collaboration with the Saemangeum Development Corporation, we not only increased students' interest in the region but also provided a meaningful and enjoyable opportunity to showcase their talents and passion. I hope that the affection and efforts of many people for Saemangeum will continue to be conveyed through even more diverse initiatives in the future."

Meanwhile, based on these achievements, the Department of Webtoon and Comic Contents at Jeonju University plans to continue expanding educational opportunities that allow students to experience practical social contributions beyond academic achievement by collaborating with local public institutions and companies.
